          When starting from X clients from a shell, it may be necessary to
          ensure the <CODE
CLASS="envar"
>DISPLAY</CODE
> environment variable is set correctly.

          This step is not necessary if you are entering your commands into an X
          terminal, as DISPLAY must already be set in that case.

          e.g. in a bash shell:
